## Project Overview
Located in Iceland, the structure emphasizes a thoughtful relationship between the built environment and the surrounding volcanic landscape. The design reflects geological features and aims to enhance the sensory experience for its users by incorporating innovative architectural elements that respond to the natural environment.

### Spatial Organization
The project features a three-level layout, each selected for distinct functions:
- **Basement**: This level houses a brewery and souvenir shop, fostering community interaction through organic forms that create a welcoming atmosphere.
- **First Floor**: Dedicated to wellness amenities, this floor includes personal lockers, changing areas, and treatment rooms designed with privacy in mind.
- **Second Floor**: A more communal space, it contains a lounge and a beer-tasting bar, with a layout that promotes flow and interconnection between areas.

### Material Selection
A diverse range of materials has been utilized to strengthen the structural identity and usability of the building:
- **Wood**: Chosen for its sustainability and aesthetic harmony with the environment.
- **Concrete and Metal**: Structural elements are incorporated in the basement and main columns to ensure stability.
- **Glass**: Used extensively in the lightwell, it enhances natural illumination and contributes to the overall visual conception of the space.

This thoughtful choice of materials not only supports the structural integrity but also reflects the natural surroundings, reinforcing a sense of place.

### Distinctive Features
Key architectural elements enhance the overall experience:
- **Lightwell**: Descending 16 meters, this central feature brings natural light into all levels and creates dynamic shading that alters the atmosphere throughout the day.
- **Terraces**: Accessible from various floors, these outdoor spaces provide expansive views and encourage social gatherings, reinforcing the connection to nature.
- **Inclusive Bathing Facilities**: Inspired by volcanic formations, the beer bath tubs are designed to accommodate visitors with disabilities, ensuring an inclusive experience for all.

The design ultimately combines aesthetic and functional intentions, creating a space that promotes interaction, wellness, and a deeper connection with the Icelandic landscape.
